*WARNING*: If you haven’t watched last night’s episode of “24” - a) don’t read this and 2) WHAT WERE YOU DOING?!!?

Today is a very sad day: it marks the potential passing of a beloved family member for the past five years - Tony Almeida of CTU. His car exploded, his wife (the lovely Michelle) died, he was burned and in a half-day coma, he was in a building that had nerve gas pumped into the ventilation system, and he tried to kill the guy who was involved in the killing of his wife - but that dude ended up killing him and not in a pain-free way (well, we assume Tony’s dead; unfortunately the hour passed before we got the results, but with his words of “she’s gone” to Jack, one can assume). So Tony’s bad days are finally over.

So today is a day of wearing black, particularly since Tony did not get the honor of the silent clock like Lispy McGee (Edgar) did. Here are a few gems as we all say “thanks for the memories.”
Milo: What do you think they’re going to do to Jack?
Tony Almeida: Not going to name a street after him, that’s for sure.

Tony Almeida: You mind telling me what’s going on around here tonight?
Jack Bauer: What’s going on? You mean besides a 747 falling out of the sky and a threat on a presidential candidate’s life?
Tony Almeida: Yeah, besides that.

Tony Almeida: So, uh, what are we saying here? If we save LA from a nuclear bomb, then you and I can get together for dinner and a movie?

Ryan Chappelle: So what’s up, my friend?
Tony Almeida: Well, it’s like this, Ryan: Either fire me, or get out of my chair.

Tony Almeida: Chloe, I’m getting real tired of your personality.

Henry Powell: Who are you guys? Police? FBI?
Tony Almeida: Actually, I’m currently unemployed.

Tony Almeida: Some people feel more comfortable in hell.

Michelle Dessler: I’ll go anywhere with you… as long as I don’t have to cook.
Tony Almeida: [laughing] Sweetheart, if you promise not to cook I will take you with me anywhere.
